Page 2 AOH DIVISION 61 JOSEPH PATRICK SCHICKLING President’s Letter Hopefully everyone has had a happy and safe summer. As I’m sure you have noticed, the old “door” to the kitchen has been blocked up, this has been a long time coming, and is the first phase of our kitchen remodeling. We also disposed of the parade float and cleaned up the parking lot. I would like to thank Bill Burns, Ed Rooney, Mike Kinney, Sean Campbell and Warren Jones for their hard work. Tir Na Nog will start up again on September 16 th @ 3:00PM. For newer members, Tir Na Nog is our Junior Division, each month we have Arts & Crafts and a movie for our children. There is no charge and all are welcome; sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, etc. The fall starts getting busy at the AOH, our Golf Outing is scheduled for October 6 th with Crab Night on October 27 th ; both of these events will need help from our members. Our Shuffleboard League will start up shortly after Labor Day, so if you have a team or are in need of a team to join contact Vinnie Costello at 215-696-0691 or Chris O’Connor at 215-783-4789.

Well, mark your calendars! Our 11th annual crab night is set for Saturday, October 27, 2007 at Saint Dominic's Marian Hall! The proceeds from our Crab Derby help offset the cost of repairs at our club and even more impor- tantly helps keep the beer cold! This is the only fundraiser we do to benefit our home and we are working hard to make this our best night ever. For the benefit of our newer members or for those of you who haven't attended one of our crab nights before, we feature all-you-can-eat crabs, beer, wine and soda as well as Hot Roast Beef, homemade salads and a sweet table. In addition, we present five live crab races that you can bet on (like the Night at the Races) as well as other games of chance for your entertainment. In order to make this night a success, we need your help and participation. Obviously, we'd like to have you come out and bring some friends. The cost of the tickets is $25 in advance and $30 at the door. This year, for the first time, we will have a special door prize for those people who purchased tickets in advance. For anyone who knows and enjoys crabs and beer, this is a deal that can't be beaten! We consistently get the biggest, meatiest and tastiest crabs available and we usually have two or three beers to choose from. The other way you can help participate is by helping to "sell" races. Similar to our Night at the Races, you can "buy" one of our racing crabs for $5 and name it whatever you please (within reason - we are a Catholic organization). If you're crab wins the race, you win $25! If you sell just ten crabs to friends, coworkers, family or neighbors you will know - and they will know - that one of them will be the winner. Selling races is a great way to build interest and generate buzz about the crab night and is an easy money-maker for us. In addition, if the race forms are returned by October 1st, their names and their crabs' names will appear in our racing program. A copy of the racing form is attached and we will have more available behind the bar and on meeting nights. Finally, we need your help manning the table games or helping out in the kitchen. The more help we get the better; and the easier it makes it for the rest of the workers. No experience is necessary, we'll train you and put you with one of our 'Bay-Seasoned-pros". For more information or to volunteer contact Bob Cummings at 267-226-7369. We're really hoping to make this our best night ever, but our best efforts will fail without your help and support.
